Life support is required to maintain a breathable atmosphere inside of the ship. If for some reason the ship's canopy is broken the ship's atmosphere will be vented to space leaving the player with limited time to reach a station (time is based upon module rating). Any given ship is only able to equip one class of life support (i.e. An Asp is able to equip only class 4 life support, it cannot equip classes 1,2 or 3). | Life support is required to maintain a breathable atmosphere inside of the ship.
